Being and Becoming: A physics and Upanishadic awareness of time and thought process
Resumen
Understanding time, construed as movement, change and becoming, is explained taking examples from the natural sciences. Durational and metrical aspects of time are elaborated. General assumptions about the passage of time are listed. Indian, Chinese and later insights of time are figured. Physical and psychological times are differentiated and explained using Energy-Presence (Being) and Energy-Transformation (Becoming) concepts. Concepts of Time at rest and Time in motion are proposed.
The meanings of time-space, time-flow, different phases of time-conscious and time-transcendent mind and thought processes are interpreted from basic physics principles and Upanishadic awareness. An attempt is made to present a comprehensive insight of the nature of time, thought process and conscious states (phases) of mind.
Key words: Physical time, psychological time, time at rest, time in motion, Upanishadic awareness of time, being, becoming, thought process, conscious states (phases) of mind.
